On classical solutions of the Prandtl-Reuss equations of perfect elastoplasticity

Abstract

We study the elasticity domain for an antiplane deformation of a perfect elastoplastic medium, which is described by the Prandtl-Reuss equations. We prove that a boundary of this domain can be found by solving a system of nonlinear functional equations. In the simplest case of simple shear deformations, this system of equations is studied in detail.
